Chapter 271: The Mysterious Cave
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The atmosphere was extremely tense. Everyone was tense.
If Gu Xi was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that one of the groups was from the Vast Expanse Sword Domain.
The man in the lead was none other than Li Du, the sword genius who was said to be one in a hundred years in the Vast Expanse Sword Domain.
At this moment, he stood quietly on the spot with his eyes half-open. Just by looking at him, he looked as if he was about to fall asleep. However, no one dared to underestimate his strength.
If he relaxed even a little, the longsword hanging from his waist might take his life!
Not far away from Li Du, there were a few young men and women dressed in red. There was a flame pattern on their chests.
Obviously, these people were disciples from the Raging Fire Valley.
Not long ago, the two sides coincidentally met here. This was also the encounter between the first and third place in the grand competition.
The people from the Raging Fire Valley naturally had plans for Li Du and the others.
As long as they took over half of the points from the Vast Expanse Sword Domain, the Raging Fire Valley’s points would instantly exceed 10,000!
On the other hand, the Vast Expanse Sword Domain’s ranking would instantly drop out of the top 10.
The two sides had been in a stalemate for quite some time, but no one spoke, and no one made a move. It was as if everything was silent.
Everyone’s thoughts were well-understood by the other party.
If they really started fighting, it was still unknown who was stronger or weaker.
Although Li Du, as the leader of the Vast Expanse Sword Domain, had extraordinary strength, and was even a Sword Dao genius that was hard to come by in a hundred years. Meanwhile, the leader of the Raging Fire Valley, Qin Hai, was also not an ordinary person.
It could even be said that the final outcome of the battle would depend on the two of them.
Just as the atmosphere became tenser and tenser, all the jade pendants present simultaneously emitted waves of light.
Qin Hai was stunned for a moment before he raised his eyebrows. There was some surprise in his eyes.
He was very clear that the reason why the jade pendants were emitting this kind of light was that there were major changes in the competition. For example, the competition was about to end, or... The first place had changed hands!
Obviously, it was too early for the former. There was only one reason.
Qin Hai hurriedly took out the jade pendant. The moment his gaze fell on it, his eyes widened uncontrollably.
“Looks like we almost got into a fight for no reason,” a moment later, Qin Hai put away the jade pendant and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Hai waved his hand and led the other few disciples of the Raging Fire Valley who were still in the fog to turn around and leave.
“Isn’t this guy a little too cowardly?”
“To think that he can be considered the strongest person among the younger generation of the Raging Fire Valley. Is that all he’s got?.”
The two disciples from the Vast Expanse Sword Domain softly laughed when they saw Qin Hai leave without any explanation.
On the other hand, Li Du did not change even the slightest. It was only when he took out his jade pendant and saw the changes on the ranking that his face, which had remained unchanged since ancient times, finally changed a little.
“Damn, how did the Medicine King Valley surpass us?!”
“What’s going on? How did they get so many points?”
The people behind him also noticed the changes in the rankings and could not help but exclaim.
“Gu Xi, huh...” Li Du murmured and looked into the distance.
Obviously, the Medicine King Valley’s leap made this genius of swordsmanship interested in Gu Xi. He was just as curious as the others. An ordinary disciple of the Medicine King Valley... He gained such a large number of points in such a short time.
However, this kind of thing happened at the same time in all parts of the planar battlefield.
“What?! The Medicine King Valley actually became the first place, are you kidding me?”
“Are you kidding me, with just those few people?”
“I heard that Gu Xi was almost beaten to death by Wang Zhan of the Hehuan Sect a few days ago?”
“Could they have cheated?”
“There must be a problem!”
“Hey! Are you doubting our Daluo Sect?”
Whether it was in the Safe Zone where people came and went, or in the deep mountains and forests... As long as there were participants, everyone looked at the Medicine King Valley’s points in disbelief.
On the other side, Gu Xi did not know about this.
As the instigator, he was simply dealing with the corpses of hundreds of ancient Netherworld Lizards.
“If I do this a few more times, first place will be guaranteed.”
After checking the ranking again, Gu Xi put away the jade pendant.
Unfortunately, demon beasts that lived in groups were rare, not to mention demon beasts like the Netherworld Lizards that had ancient bloodlines.
Gu Xi did not think anymore and was about to leave. What he needed to do now was to leave this place as soon as possible and then search for the next group of victims.
However, before he took a few steps, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a cave not far away from him from the corner of his eye.
After thinking for a while, Gu Xi came in front of the cave.
The cave was very small and could only accommodate one child. However, the depth of the cave was so deep that Gu Xi could not see the end of it.
As far as his eyes could see, there was only endless darkness.
Gu Xi subconsciously released his spiritual sense to extend into the depths of the cave. However, what surprised him was that his spiritual sense only extended for a few hundred feet before it stopped. It was as if there was something obstructing his spiritual sense’s detection.
As expected, there was something unusual inside!
Gu Xi was able to determine immediately. After some deliberation, he summoned Little Jin out.
“Go in and take a look. Be careful,” Gu Xi said in a deep voice.
Since his spiritual sense could not spread inside, he naturally would not go to an unknown place under unknown conditions.
Little Jin did not hesitate at all. With a flick of his tail, it directly rushed into the cave.
Meanwhile, Gu Xi quietly circulated his spiritual power, ready to deal with any sudden situation at any time.
Very quickly, the time for an incense stick to burn quietly passed by.
Just as Gu Xi was beginning to be a little worried, Little Jin finally returned.
“There are good things inside.”
Little Jin’s short sentence surprised Gu Xi, making him restless.
Could it be that this was the place where the ancient big shots had fallen? Or was there an ancient divine artifact or something like that?
All sorts of possibilities flashed through Gu Xi’s mind, but in the end, he still did not know for sure. He could only go in personally to take a look.
In any case, Little Jin had already explored the path inside, so there should not be any other dangers.
Even if there were still dangers, Gu Xi was confident that he could deal with them.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi immediately entered the cave.
Only after entering the cave did he suddenly realize that although the entrance of the cave was narrow, once one entered deep into it, the passage would become wider and wider. In the end, Gu Xi could walk normally.
Walking along the mountain wall, very quickly, a medicinal herb appeared in Gu Xi’s line of sight.
